酔いどれ　ヴィク勇

酔っ払いな勇利は距離感バグってると思う

It really comes as a shock because they're still such a young team and their good chemistry didn't make it seem like they didn't get along. I only discovered them two seasons ago, but I always enjoyed their programmes. 😢 Their Adagio for Strings free dance was gorgeous.

Happy 89th Birthday George Takei!

George Takei, born on April 20, 1937, in Los Angeles, California, is an actor, activist, and social media phenomenon who has lived one of the most remarkable lives in American entertainment.

As a child, Takei and his family were forcibly relocated to Japanese...

There's an amazing amount of character growth going on in YOI episode 5. Here's an old article by me that discusses the experiences Yuuri and Viktor gain at the Regionals, including how anxiety and low self-esteem influence Yuuri's sportsmanship capability: tinyurl.com/mwuvpnh6

Please, save us! You're our last hope! 🙏

What? Figure skating really can't give us a breather this off-season, huh? Just stop the count.

This news makes me sad, this young team had really grown on me.

Yes, absolutely! And there's an awful lot of character development going on in there that is the foundation for episode 6 ff.

Yuuri's whole speech at the end is so demi-romantic coded. I often talk about his ace-coding in the context of his approach to Eros but iykyk.

I swear, someday I'm gonna write a post that takes a critical look at the late-bloomer-trope re aspec identities.

I will die on the hill that Yuuri jumped into the boards because in that moment he realised that he loves Viktor.

(I'm aware that experienced skaters jump into the boards when the rink size is different from what they're used to, but if that was the point it would be a feature)

/15 #yurionice #yoi

Viktor's inner monologue during Yuuri's free skate always cracks me up. Junichi Suwabe has done an amazing job on conveying his emotions. Viktor's indignation when he realises that Yuuri's changed his jumps is so frickin' cute.

Lohengrin dark past costume reveal will never not be epic

In this household we stan figure skaters cosplaying as other figure skaters and costumes that look atrocious but in a charming, artistic way.

/13 #yurionice #yoi

Everyone freaking out at Viktor's suit is literally me. I can't help picturing Viktor to look as stylish as Coach Stéphane which imho is a very valid reason to scream.

Aaaand time for episode 5!

I often hear people say it's the most boring episode and I politely beg to differ because there's so much going on like Viktor's first outing as a coach, which is a steep learning curve for him, and Yuuri figuring out that he loves Viktor.

A digital illustration done in simple contour lines and rough pencil coloring on neutral tinted paper background of a woman reclining on a surface in a faint. Seen from a foreshortened angle from her knees and feet. She’s laying on one hip with her torso twisting to supine. The back of one hand lays across her forehead and the other is held limply on her ribs. Her head is back and her red curls spread out on the ground around her. She’s wearing a white, voluminous and old fashioned night dress. Orange lettering in an Art Nouveau style to the right reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

A digital illustration of the characters Hans and Henry from the game series "Kingdom Come:Deliverance". They're sitting at the edge of the beach, looking out on the Baltic Sea for the first time. It's unsure if the sun is setting or rising, partially hidden underneath a heavy cloud and above a restless sea. Wind is moving grass and hair, underlining the juxtaposition of wamrth and cold, calm and unrest: Things may be uncertain, but they're restful.

They are kissing, Henry dressed and armored while Hans is completely naked. Henry leans into Hans, holding Hans' head, while Hans holds on to Henry's shoulder and waist.

初夏を感じたい…

Toller Cranston captured mid-air in a dramatic leap, wearing a bright red, form-fitting outfit with a yellow long-sleeve top underneath. His arms are extended gracefully above and behind him, and his legs are bent in a dynamic pose. He has curly hair and is looking toward the camera. Behind him is Toronto City Hall, with its two curved towers and central council chamber. A Canadian flag is visible to the left, and a group of people sit along the edge of the skating rink below, watching.

On this day in 1949, Toller Cranston was born in Hamilton.
A highly influential figure skater, he is credited with bringing a new level of artistry to men's figure skating. He won an Olympic bronze medal and won every Canadian championship from 1971 to 1976. He died in 2015.

Sometimes, I write before I think. And I forgot how dear this story is to me.

This story is going to stay in the drawer until either it stops mattering to me (read: when I'm no longer a YOI fan) or my writing attracts an audience big enough that some readers would be hyped for Young Vitya—whichever will occur.

At least, I don't see a point in publishing it now.

Okay, so to test the waters...

1. Who would be interested in reading this?
2. Would anyone like to beta for me with focus on plot, structure, and dramaturgy?

Reposts are welcome, I only count replies as yes. People who want to beta must be acquainted to me at least.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

The Facts About AIDS insert from the Like a Prayer album.

Publicity shot of Madonna with her dancers from the Blonde Ambition tour. All but one of her dancers were gay.

Madonna included safer sex information with every copy of the (patchouli-scented) Like A Prayer album.
There’s a reason why gays of a certain age (my age) will always love her, she had our backs when few did.

And tbh ideas like that are pretty much the reason I'm glad that whether I'll ever post this fanfic is still written in the stars because I can just write away and indulge in unhinged D/s dynamics without needing to censor myself because it might drive readers away.

The smut scene I wrote today was extremely aesthetically pleasing—at least that's what shibari does to Viktor in my brain. Or in other words: writing ILAW2 is going splendidly.

Thank you! I totally respect that!
